T-Works adjustable camber gauge

New from T-Works is this adjustable camber gauge for use across multiple classes include 1/8th and 1/10th offroad as well as 1/10th touring. Machined from aluminium and then black anodised the gauge can measure camber between +3 to -10 degrees, with the angle lockable using the red anodised thumb nut. The surface that you place against the car’s wheel sports a carbon insert that can be removed so that it can still be placed along the centre of the wheel while avoiding any protruding wheel nuts.

MXLR caster correction stickers

MXLR noted that there are a few 1/10 TC setup systems out there which have the incorrect caster scale engraved on them. If the scale is too narrow, its one of the incorrect versions, and your caster setting isn’t actually the number it displays. With these MXLR Caster correction stickers you are able to fix your caster scales without the need to buy a whole new system. They are precisely printed and cut for a perfect fit to the setup system. As a small extra, they added FL, FR and RL, RR marks on the stickers to increase the consistency of your setup procedure by using the same setup system part always in the same spot. Two versions for different Setup Systems are available, for Hudy 1/10 TC Alloy System and for the G-Force & SkyRC 1/10 TC Alloy System.

Daniel Kobbevik sweeps Norwegian EP Offroad finals

It was time for the last 1/10 offroad race of the year in Norway, and the biggest event of all is the National Championship Race. This time it was held close to Trondheim City, and the surface was EOS carpet and control tyres for all drivers. No pre practise for the drivers, so same amount of time on track for everybody. First up was 2wd and this year also this class had the “Kings Pocal” as well. The highest mark you can achieve in Norway, and its switched around in different classes, so it sits pretty high to win that trophy. The amount of drivers was good, and the level as well, all the best drivers in 1/10 were gathered to fight for the titles.

Furthermore, the choice of the organisers was oriented towards the use of control tires for the class and control additive.

Exotek Slash Drag shock tower & HD axle set

Two new items from Exotek for the Drag Slash and Slash Street Eliminator, the first being this heavy duty 4mm thick carbon fibre front shock tower.
